Jehovah's Witnesses Meet

June 20, 2001

Nearly 6,000 Jehovah's Witnesses are expected for a convention at the New Haven Coliseum Friday through Sunday.

The program will include discussion, skits and a biblical play.

The Saturday-morning program will include baptisms and an ordination ceremony. The Rev. Richard Colvin, a regional director of Jehovah's Witnesses, will be the keynote speaker Sunday morning, followed by the costume drama.

Jehovah's Witnesses meet annually from May through September in 189 district conventions around the country. The public is invited to all events.
